Is it possible to learn a simple etching technique in one single morning, which you can then develop in depth later on? Short answer: yes it is! We use beverage cartons for etching and discover the various steps involved in creating a real intaglio print.
We will also experiment with ornaments and patterns, while drawing inspiration from nature, folk art and art history to give shape and meaning to our etchings.
Initially, we will work individually, but who knows, we may end up with one large collective intaglio print to finish it all off!
Check www.opek.be for more information about how to get here. At the first session, you will be welcomed by someone from WISPER who will tell you exactly where in/around the building your course takes place.
Good to know if you take a full-day course here: for the lunch break, you can bring your own lunch, eat in at Café Entrepot or buy something at the Lidl supermarket around the corner.
